How much would you pay for a turkey

[bkgs]

If a guy came around in a pick up truck with turkey in the back, How much would be a good price to pay.

I don't mean price per pound as compared to a store but for the whole live turkey. I know people will pay a little extra over store prices sold in this manner but I don't know how much. I have relatives who buy turkey from 4-H auctions for thanksgiving every year and pay $100 for the turkey, but this is a donation. Out of the back of a truck is not an auction and donation environment.

How much would you pay

How old is the turkey and is it healthy? Frankly, I wouldn't buy it without knowing something about the individual. Doubt a mature live turkey is worth more than 50 cents a lb.

Can buy them for $25 all day at the flea market.

A regular size turkey, 15 or 20 lbs dressed. (24 week old market ready 25 lb liveweight or a 20 week 21 lb liveweight). Assume healthy market ready weight. I know .50 lb would be wholesale to the grower but I'm talking about trying to get a little extra at retail. I'm not talking about $100 for a turkey in a different situation but talking a little more about door to door sales how much would be a good retail price. What do you think. Hello from Michigan.

I think it would depend a lot on the turkey-size, condition, health, etc., how much trouble its going to be for you to butcher it or how much its going to cost you to have someone do it for you. I'd think it would be a lot easier to just buy one, unless you were planning on getting into the turkey business anyways
